Perhaps my experience in Pentecost with out of control emotions caused me to go to the other extreme in an effort to be pleasing to the Lord.
While I maintain that "The day of Pentecost" cannot be used a biblical reference for out of control emotions and the term "drunk as ye suppose" has been grossly misued to justify Pentecostal extremism.......I do stand corrected and abolish my previous position that it is wrong to "do your thing" in the house of God......
You guys have successfully proven to me that since Paul did not CONDEMN those OT worship practices then we must not do the same..... However, I still maintain that Pentecost is not as obedient to Paul's teaching on Church Order as they should be.... and Pastors should try much harder to keep chaos which it typically found in Pentecost to a minimum..... Although, I do not see the purpose of running around isles and running the backs of pews, nor do I see it ever happening in the NT... I will no longer condemn it nor those who participate in it.... and issue a public apology and repent for having done so....
Blessings to all

One day right after I received the Holy Ghost in March of 1970 I laid on the floor speaking in tongues about 30 min. and didn't even know it,so it was not my flesh.I was in an other church about 6 months later,I was just think the preacher was false and all of a sudden the Holy Ghost jerked me our of my seat straight up over a pew and I landed in the isle on my back and lost my shoe. I sat up to get my shoe and the Holy Ghost knocked be back again.This time I stayed laying in the isle a while.Well I learned to watch what I think.I didn't even say anything,I was just thinking.Believe me I was not in the flesh.I had no control,the Holy Ghost taught me. Oh well,the Holy Ghost teaches me many things but many on this forum and others just mock.
